DEEP SPACE NINE: "A Simple... " - REV. 1/20/97 - ACT FIVE      64.

	A small device is inserted into her dataport, and in 
	it, we see the DATA CRYSTAL positioned between two 
	diodes. She's wearing a hospital gown.

	The Idanian is explaining everything to Sisko and 
	Bashir. Odo has heard much of this story before and 
	remains largely silent.

					BASHIR
